Happy Monday!
As the Star Wars universe continues to expand into the future in a variety of ways, the beloved franchise is simultaneously taking us back into the past. Cinematically, the first of these stories was the 2016 film Rogue One, which received positive reviews. And for good reason. Now it’s Solo’s turn.
Han Solo.
At least we know who shot the first solo Solo movie:
Directors Chris Miller & Phil Lord, then director Ron Howard.

Ready to See the Future?
You’re not seeing things:
Steven Spielberg is now a hologram.
Part of the story in Ready Player One is the exploration of the line between reality and virtual reality (VR) in society in 2045, centered in Columbus, Ohio. Rest assured that this blog won’t just reveal spoilers for film and TV without a bold, unmistakable disclaimer. For this specific blog post, have no worries as there are no film or story spoilers here.
Having said that, the special hologram version of Mr. Spielberg is the latest spotlight of the continued blurring of lines between reality and virtual reality that’s existed in various forms for some time now. This cool tech in the video above–also utilized in the original Star Wars trilogy from back in the ’70s and ’80s with Princess Leia–is an example of VR that can live harmlessly in reality.
Bonus points coins would’ve been given to Steven Spielberg and the team at IMAX if they could’ve created and then broadcasted the beloved storyteller’s avatar that would live in the Oasis.
Oh well.
BTW – If you have not seen Ready Player One directed by legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg in theaters on the biggest screen possible, then you should probably get on that ASAP with IMAX.
Happy Monday!
It’s time to put a new twist on Monday with some imagination…
pure imagination.
Ready. Set. Go see Ready Player One!
Have a Better Week Than Last Week.
Get Ready to Play in a World in Pure Imagination
Friday is finally here.
The only thing missing is a flashback. And with a certain low-budget, independent film now in theaters, it seems fitting to feature a movie trailer about a story that takes place in the future, yet is simultaneously defined by the past.
Ready Player One is now playing in movie theaters.
P.S. Steven Spielberg has done it again!
